Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

    Pressure them about what exactly? Making the product for Linux or extending Windows 10 support?

    @spitfire To support Linux because Windows are going worse.

    lol, good luck with that. First of all it doesn’t really affect them commercially, second - there’s no single version/distribution to support.

    @spitfire I don't need to. I'm using Solvespace. Good enough for my needs.

    I’m not saying you do - just implying it’s pointless

    @spitfire Where there is no demand, there is no supply.

    5 people demanding something is not an actual demand in this context;)

    @spitfire It's your fight. Find more users, help Wine project, find alternative, use virtual Windows or bought new computer with Win11. Choice is on you.There will be any Linux version if customers not request it.appdb.winehq.org/objectManager
